I know people who have worked in 'mobbed up' establishments, even if they weren't 'mobbed up' themselves. Not in Calgary, but if they are in a rural town 1/1000th of the size then I would do that foolish assumption thing.

I would agree that no organized crime at all would be the ultimate answer. Since that is as illogical as hoping for world peace, I would take an organization like the Cosa Nostra over MS-13 (just an example).

And with no factual proof whatsoever I will still take the stand that civilians were much safer during the golden age of the mob (50's-1980). EDIT: As opposed to what we have to deal with now.
